These plans are reviewed and adopted through the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which is supported and administered by Cape Cod Commission transportation and technical staff.

Funding comes from a combination of state and federal sources, typically in the range of $20 million per year. The list of existing and proposed projects for the TIP are available below.

Typical projects include reconstruction of existing intersections or roads, construction of new multi-use paths, and purchase of new buses to support regional bus service. Projects are designed to address safety and congestion concerns for all transportation modes, including vehicle, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian travel.

Local officials and the public are encouraged to comment on the project list to help the MPO in their decision-making process. All community members can help prioritize projects identified for possible funding.

There are many ways to provide input, including attending an MPO meeting or submitting a written statement to stupper@capecodcommission.orgor P.O. Box 226, Cape Cod Commission, Attn: Transportation, Barnstable, MA 02630.

To assist with public evaluation of potential projects, Commission staff developed an interactive map that provides the location, project descriptions and other considerations for each project.

The MPO is made up of eleven voting members with representatives of state agencies, regional organizations, and Cape Cod towns. Discussions at MPO meetings help to establish a preference for which projects are funded through the TIP. Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings and voice opinions.

MPO meetings are held at 1:00 p.m. at the Cape Cod Commission Office at 3325 Main Street (Route 6A) Barnstable, MA 02630. Transit service is available on the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority's Barnstable Villager Route (the Barnstable Village­ Courthouse stop).
